STOCKTON – A woman walking with her two children Wednesday afternoon in southeast Stockton was robbed of a large amount of cash by an armed woman in a minivan, police reported.

The victim was near East Clay Street and South Airport Way, a block north of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, around 5 p.m. when a mid-1990s gray Mazda van pulled up next to her. A woman in the van asked for directions and wanted to use the victim’s cell phone, according to police.

At that point, the woman ​in the van ​brandished a black semiautomatic pistol and demanded the victim’s money. The victim handed over $200 in cash and the robber fled in the van south on Airport, according to a report.

Police described the robber as a woman between 30 and 35 years old with a thin build, last seen wearing a black shirt and blue shorts.
